The sad thing is that you KNOW you're doing it. You KNOW it's dishonest. But you don't have anything other than your faith that Democrats are bad and Republicans are good. But, like the Catholic Church and protecting pedophiles, you are willing to take all kinds of liberties with truth because of a perceived greater good.

Well, obviously. The graph has the word "Democraps" on it for fark's sake. I think the point still holds, President Bush did plenty to ensure that unnatural growth occurred during his time in office. He stood by and watched one of the greatest bubbles in the modern era grew to the point where it self destructed. Who else can claim a term filled with such irrational exuberance?

He was handed the Clinton Recession and it was compounded by the 9/11 attacks that no one saw coming. So the first two years in office don't count. And the Demoncraps took over the congress in 2006 so the last two don't count either since their socialist plots created uncertainty in the market which reduced economic output. so he only had 48 months that he can really claim as his own. And all of that time was growth.
